On today\u2019s ID the Future<\/strong>, physicist Brian Miller continues his review of James Tour\u2019s origin-of-life YouTube series<\/a>. As Miller explains, Tour, a world-renowned synthetic organic chemist and professor at Rice University, was inspired to create the series when YouTuber and evolutionist Dave Farina critiqued<\/a> Tour\u2019s critique of contemporary origin-of-life claims. In reviewing Tour\u2019s video series, Miller and host Eric Anderson praise the Tour series and discuss the Levinthal paradox of the interactome, the ridiculously long odds of blind processes assembling the first living cell, and the challenge of cell death (think Humpty Dumpty and what all the king\u2019s men couldn\u2019t do). Also discussed: entropy, molecular machines, the challenges that Brownian motion and homochirality pose, the presence of intelligent design in attempts by origin-of-life researchers to assemble cellular building blocks, and a poll showing that the public has been misled into believing that researchers have created simple life, and even frogs, in the lab.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On today\u2019s ID the Future, physicist Brian Miller continues his review of James Tour\u2019s origin-of-life YouTube series.
